Anyone have X Ray vision to read this? :)

I don't know if this helps at all.
I can't make anything out of it.
G at the beginning, a or u at the end?

[PrueM]

Hmm...he's well and truly scrubbed it out, hasn't he 

All I can make out is that it starts with a G, ends with er, and might be two words...the only thing I can get to fit is Green Grocer, but I can't see another G in there.

I wonder what Ancestry makes of it...we could do with a good laugh

Hi Everyone,

I have just checked up on the Ancestry census, and the enumerator has made a mess of this!  It looks to me as if he put Docker L in for the wife instead of the husband! Having x'd out his first error!

I enlarged it and had a good look and it is quite clear! The woman would not have to have been working in those days. Some women found it impossible to work in the 1900s Married women were often not employable!

One of my entries for 1901 is a similar mess! it took three of us to sort that one out and we knew the answer before we started!

PS My eyes are not good either, so I am happy to stand corrected!

Hmmm!  Given that the enumerator may well have messed it up, I think I agree with Prue that the occupation of someone (  ) is Greengrocer.  There seems to be a capital g at the beginning, and a small one half way through.  And the end of the word looks like "grocer" to me!

I think it looks as though Dock Labourer is attached to the entry below and has nothing to do with our entry. I did wonder about it at first, but discounted it.
I think the line through the middle that looks like a small g is in fact a strike like the one between the s and m of Blacksmith above, so I wouldn't count on there being a g in the middle.

Indeed!  The 'Dock L' is, in any case, written by a checker and not the enumerator - this checker seemed to have been very keen on adding categories etc.

There seem to have been 3 different people involved - the enumerator; then a checker writing in a different hand and with a different pen/pencil; and then yet another person using a big thick pen/pencil and adding all those X's and, apparently, scoring through Emily's occupation.

okay two things

if that is the enumarator check as pointed out by GeoffE than the second word looks like woman however if not than the second workd looks like it does beign with G and end in er like grocer , but i am inclined to agree with GeoffE on this one
